A few more pictures from yesterday’s “Graduate Blessing” service. As we wrapped these youth in our handmade quilts, people of God, keep them wrapped up in your love and prayers.

Thanks to all the CTK folks who came to Gladwin County Pride, managed our table, shared cookies, marched, and showed up for all our LGBTQIA+ siblings in Christ.

As the week comes to a close, may you release the need to have everything figured out.

Some prayers are still unfolding. Some questions remain unanswered. Some dreams are still taking shape.

Trust that God is at work even in the unfinished places.

May peace find you this weekend.

June is Pride Month.

As followers of Christ, we celebrate the sacred worth and belovedness of every person. We give thanks for LGBTQIA+ people whose gifts, leadership, faith, and witness continue to enrich the church and the world.

In a time when many still experience exclusion, we recommit ourselves to practicing radical welcome, cultivating belonging, and affirming the dignity of all God's children.

May this month be marked by joy, courage, community, and the assurance that every person is created in the image of God and deeply loved.

The Holy Trinity reminds us that relationship is woven into the very nature of God.

As Creator, God brings life into being. As Savior, God draws near in love and redemption. As Comforter, God remains present, guiding and sustaining us through every season.

At the heart of the Trinity is a relationship of love, shared, given, and received. Created in the image of this relational God, we are called to live in community, practice radical welcome, and care for one another as Christ cares for us.

On this Trinity Sunday, may we give thanks for the mystery of a God who creates, saves, comforts, and continually invites us into deeper relationship with God and one another.

“You have turned my mourning into dancing.” — Psalm 30:11

This verse does not deny the reality of sorrow. It proclaims that sorrow does not have the final word.
The God who meets us in grief also leads us toward healing. The God who walks with us through loss also invites us into renewed life.

Today, may you find comfort in knowing that God is still working, still restoring, and still creating moments of joy.
